''GoldenSunDarkDawn'' introduced only one new summon, [[CallBack inspired from the Nintendo commercial of the first game]]. Other summons return with enhanced and/or new designs, mostly to more accurately representing the ancient belief or mythology they're based from.

* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: His absence in the first promo art makes Matthew, Tyrell and Karis on the [[GoldenSunDarkDawn main page]] look like redesigns of Isaac, Garet and Mia. ''Dark Dawn'' was initially assumed to be the remake of the first game due to this.

* {{Badass}}: His holding off the party single-handedly at Mercury Lighthouse [[spoiler: while Menardi escapes with their 'hostages']], establishes him as {{Badass}}. It's pretty clear that if not for his [[ElementalRockPaperScissors being weakened by the light of Mercury Lighthouse]], and/or [[BondVillainStupidity if he'd had Menardi's help]], he likely would have won. Alex himself was moderately surprised that Isaac's party managed to pull a victory.

* {{Badass}}: It's a giant laser-firing dragon, what to expect? Even among summons of its tier (Haures, Ulysses, Coatlicue, Crystallux) Eclipse is the strongest of the five in both games it appears in and that's not even counting its [[ElementalTiers Jupiter elemental advantage against many tough bosses.]]

%%* CombatMedic: One of the only characters that learn healing spells naturally in his base set and one of the only ones who can easily learn Revive. *DishingOutDirt: As a Venus Adept, his default spells are ground based.

* SpinOffspring:** At least some of the player characters in are apparently the descendants of the player characters from the original GBA games (example: Matthew, TheHero, is Isaac's son, and [[GenerationXerox looks and plays a lot like him]]). Due to the series' extensively developed {{Shipping}} community, along with the equally awe-inspiring ShipToShipCombat, this may have some interesting results in the fandom.** In fact, almost all of the characters are descended from the heroes or minor characters. Matthew's mother is revealed to be [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Jenna]], Tyrell's father is Garet, but he is apparently unrelated to Rief, Mia's son. Rief's sister apparently develops a crush on Piers, ruling him out as a possible father. Karis is Ivan's daughter, but no indication is given as to who her mother might be. The remaining characters are Eoleo, who is the son of Briggs and was actually seen in ''VideoGame/GoldenSunTheLostAge'' as a baby, and Himi, daughter of minor characters Susa and Kushinada from the same game. The only character whose parentage is ambiguous is Amiti, although [[spoiler:There's strong indications that Alex is his father in the ending]]. Interestingly, while Isaac and Garet show up, and Mia, Ivan, and Piers are frequently mentioned, there's barely any talk of Jenna, and Felix and Sheba are conspicuously absent.

* GenreSavvy: He is completely aware Alex is using him. [[TakeThat He just doesn't care]].** Also, he points out Mia's ElementalRockPaperScissors and CombatMedic advantages and sets a trap to remove her from Isaac's group before they fight so she can be handled separately. This in particular falls into DangerouslyGenreSavvy territory.
